Bladder cancer. Urogram (X-ray) of the pelvis of a 58 year old patient with a malignant (cancerous) tumour (white) in the left half of the bladder (lower centre). The main risk factors for bladder cancer are a family history of the disease,smoking and exposure to certain chemicals. Symptoms may include passing blood in the urine and a feeling of increased bladder pressure.
